Chapel History

Lancaster St Thomas was created a district church or chapel in 1844 from, and lying within the boundaries of Lancaster St Mary, Lancashire ancient parish.

St Thomas' was built between 1840 and 1841 to a design by the local architect Edmund Sharpe. In 1852–53 Sharpe's successor, E. G. Paley added the northeast steeple and the chancel in a similar architectural style.

The modern parish is in the deanery of Lancaster, the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the diocese of Blackburn. The church is a Grade II listed building.


The Diocese of Blackburn is a Church of England diocese, covering much of Lancashire, created in 1926 from part of the Diocese of Manchester. The Diocese includes the towns of Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley, and the cities of Lancaster, and Preston, as well as a large part of the Ribble Valley.


St. Thomas's district church was consecrated on the 14th June, 1841. Its style is early English, and it forms a good specimen of Mr. Edmund Sharpe's acknowledged skill, for, though devoid of ornament, its proportions are symmetrical, and its appearance both within and without strikingly elegant; the edifice is of beautiful white freestone obtained in the neighbourhood, and the cost of its erection was about £3000.[1]
